Want to help everyday Americans invest and build wealth? Financial inequality is increasing, and too many people are getting left behind. At Stash, we are passionate about democratizing wealth creation through education, advice, and products that help customers achieve greater financial freedom.

We're looking for a Senior Growth Data Scientist to join our team. You'll play a critical role in driving our company's growth by using data to identify opportunities, optimize user acquisition and retention, and inform product strategy. The ideal candidate is a curious, data-driven individual with a strong background in statistics, machine learning, and business analytics.

This role is for someone who is not just a data analyst but a strategic partner in the growth of our company.

Build Predictive Models: Develop and deploy machine learning models to predict user churn, lifetime value (LTV), and conversion probabilities. Use these insights to personalize user experiences and optimize marketing campaigns.
Design and Analyze A/B Tests: Partner with product and marketing teams to design, execute, and analyze A/B tests and other experiments. Use statistical rigor to measure the impact of new features and campaigns.
Optimize Marketing and Product Decisions: Work closely with Growth teams to drive data-driven decision making. Use techniques like attribution modeling to understand which channels are most effective, and incrementally testing to measure the true impact of marketing campaigns.
Build and Maintain Data Models: maintaining and developing data models in our data mart to ensure data is clean, accessible, and reliable for business analysis.
Develop Dashboards and Reports: Create and maintain dashboards and reports that provide stakeholders with a clear, real-time view of key growth metrics (e.g., DAU/MAU, churn rate, LTV, CAC).
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product managers, engineers, and marketers to translate data insights into actionable strategies that drive growth.
Communicate Insights: Effectively communicate complex findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences through presentations, reports, and clear visualizations.
